Yes. Schuetzenfest
You can read all about it over at the other blog.
In the off-chance you are wondering why these Fraulein are so cheerful.
They are partying at the biggest Marksmen‘s Fair in the world. The Schützenfest held in Hanover every July. Over 5.000 marksmen from clubs from all over Germany participate in this showpiece.
I digress. This is Door County – a far cry from the Fatherland.
Aside from the marksmanship extravaganza held this past weekend there was work to do - and this is part of the crew – Lawyer, Mennonite and Sid.
Mostly clearing brush, cutting shooting lanes and repairing deer stands for this fall’s deer hunting season. That’s me sizing-up a new board for fifteen year-old stand that has yielded a number of deer. Both gun and bow.
A word of advice.
Never underestimate the power of a chainsaw to cause you bodily harm. Seems Mennonite was doing his usual one-handed tree-limbing demonstration when a branch decided to fall his direction and part of it impaled itself on his forearm. Deep in the flesh.
I have a good vibe about deer hunting this year.
Plenty of scouting and plenty of deer.
Time will tell.
Be safe and shoot straight.

Sorry I missed out. However, the parent's 40th was a success.
ReplyDeleteWe will have to get together of some dead animal and adult beverages and get me brought up to speed on the impending adventure.
For sure!
ReplyDeleteIf you can make part or all of the early antlerless season be sure to let me know.
You'd have an opportunity to meet the crew and get the lay of the land before the cold and snow arrive.
